Hi!Nice drawing but you made a mistake in your historical explanation about Queen Elisabeth. Well, as you said, she was King Philip IV's first wife but unfortunately died in 1644. Her only surviving childs were Queen Maria Theresa of France (wife of Louis XIV) and prince Baltasar Carlos who died just 3 years after his mother. After Elisabeth's death, King Philip married his niece Mariana of Austria who was Queen of Spain until the king's death and later became regent on behalf of his son, Charles (future Charles II, last Habsburg king). "Las Meninas" was painted in 1656 and the main character in the portrait is princess Margaret of Austria, (born in 1651) daughter of Queen Mariana and King Philip. Furthermore, in the picture if you look at the background, there is a mirror where King Philip is reflected with Queen Mariana as consort.
However, despite his second married and his many lovers it is said that King Philip's great love was his beloved "little french princess". Hope that clarified the mistake
